ウクレレの値踏み

Ukulele Friend is proud to offer ukulele appraisals through our online appraisal service. Simply follow the steps below and your request will be expedited in the order received. All ukulele appraisals will be charged a $50.00 fee per instrument and advance payment is required. Please see the Buying & Selling page for more information about payment options and procedures. An electronic copy will be provided via email and a hard copy of the ukulele appraisal will also be mailed to your physical mailing address. To submit an ukulele appraisal request please follow the following steps:

Step 2: Submit clear photos of the front, back, both sides of the ukulele, the neck, headstock, butt, neck joint, and fretboard of the ukulele.

Step 3: Serial numbers and any other numbers, including the area where these numbers are found. (i.e. inside of the soundhole, on the neck-block, or the headstock.)

Step 4: Descriptions of any modifications or damage or repairs not easily visible in the photos. Please also submit close-up photos of these areas as well.

Step 5: Wait for email reply of approval from Ukulele Friend before proceeding with steps 6 and 7. Although we specialize in vintage, custom, and production made ukuleles we do not lay claim to know of all builders/ makers worldwide over the past one hundred years the instrument has been in existence. Consequently, we will only proceed with appraisals for approved requests.

Step 6: Upon approval of request a payment of $50 per instrument. (Please see ‘Buy/Sell’ tab above for payment options and procedures.)
